Organization Creation & Naming Conventions

We avoid "Org Sprawl." New Organizations are only created for distinct Business Units or large-scale Projects.


In the GitHub hierarchy, an Organization is the shared workspace that sits above Teams and acts as the owner of your Repositories.

If a Team is a "group of people," an Organization is the "company building" that houses the people, the projects, and the security front door.

  1. Centralized Asset Ownership
  2. The "Front Door" (Access Management)
  3. Shared Resources & Policy Enforcement


  • Naming Convention (Org): SQO-<business-unit> (e.g., SQO-INFRASTRUCTURE,  SQO-INTEGRATION , SQO-SYENSQOAI).



  • Naming Convention (Repo):  Syensqo-[platform]-[app name/project name]   
     

    • platform:   (Azure), (GCP), (AWS), (Multi-cloud), (on-prem).

    • Example: Syensqo-Azure-infra-Subscription-Mgmt




Team & Permission Management

In GitHub Enterprise Cloud,

Team is much more than just a list of people. It is a fundamental organizational tool used to manage permissions, streamline communication, and group members based on their real-world roles or projects.

  1. Access Control at Scale
  2. Nested Teams (Hierarchy)
  3. Mentioning and Communication
  4. Required Reviews
  • Team Structure: Always nest teams under the Parent Org.


  • Permissions:


    • Maintainer: For dev/ops lead (manage settings, no billing)
    • Write: For Developers (standard CI/CD access).

    • Triage/Read: For Stakeholders and Auditors.

    Info

    Rule: Never grant individual permissions
